since we have all you supercharger gurus/fans attention i thought it might be a good time to find out how much difference it makes to the fuel economy of the car?

I asked a well-known workshop here that has a bit to do with Soarers to make up a set of headers. They said a week or two, that was like 6 or 8 weeks ago, the guy keeps making excuses and wont return my calls... useless plicks

Just add to my last post,
Don't go to them!!
They over charged, lied about how much their subcontracted paintshop charged them, broke everything they touched, took 4 weeks when they said it would be one, bagged out their subbies when I asked any questions, and never once returned my phone calls!!
Plus I asked them to install my in-car comp, their so-called electronics wiz played with the car all day and said they couldn't connect the Audio to my Eclipse deck without a special Eclipse plug. All it needed was a 3.5 headphone plug!!!! How dumb can you get??!

I travelled 1650ks one trip from Neil,s on the newell highway after he put my blower on and averaged 9.6 ks to the litre, and cruising at speeds up to 140 in places,which i thought was pretty good?

Murray- do you ever get up towards Auckland? It would be great to hear some before & after pro's and con's, and also perhaps some advice for anyone else in NZ who's planning to do the same :-)

My car came off pretty well from Precise. John Humphrey who had the car before me had some work done there back in the day. Soarer 1, Precise 0.

oh yes i got burnt, got the receipts to prove it. I've always serviced my own cars, but the age and unknown car had me get a 3 year warranty with it that had me service it with receipts every 5000 k's. So off i went, everything got more and more expensive and i found i was going back many times for the same problem. I eventually went elsewhere and was shown what wasn't done.

Any chance of getting the dyno readings for each supercharged car and a quick run down of the mods done to get it??

Would be nice to know what is needed to reach a specific power output...

Hey Tai, I have been reading up on supercharging tonight and came across this page which might interest you.

No problem Tai, I have had a ride in Rob Hayden's supercharged 32 and his standard 32. The blown Soarer is awesome, it pulls like a train!

What type of plug are guys using with your superchargers setups?

I'm about to bolt on a 6lbs M90. While I've got the throttle body off, I want to change the plugs as I'm almost at 100 000km.

Yes, but one heat range cooler is useful if you are running a "hot" blower like Eaton. I mean that in a useful way since they increase the manifold air temp considerably, a cooler plug is recommendable.
